Reel Addiction Charters invites you to relax and have lots of fun catching fish in, and around, Newport, Rhode Island. Captain Chip Parker will take you near and off the coast to search for various species, and with all the grounds being rich in fish, you'll have a great chance to land a respectable catch.
Your trip will start on a 30' Stamas walkaround, a boat that accommodates 4 guests and runs on a twin 225 HP Yamaha engines. It's got comprehensive navigation technology that will take you to the fish quickly and its facilities include a toilet, shower, and beds. There's an ice-box to store your fish and drinks and a livewell to provide live bait. For any help you may need, just turn to the first mate, who does work for tips only!
The species you can catch include Striped Bass, Blue Fish, Tautog, Sea Bass, Scup, and more. You can catch them on light and heavy tackle in a great variety of ways including bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, and drift fishing. You can keep your catch if you like, kids are welcome to join the trip, and there can be NO SMOKING, of any kind on board.
The captain provides you with all the fishing gear, licenses, drinks, and he'll also clean and fillet your catch for free, on full day charters only. You just bring the food of your choice before you depart.
Come to Aquidneck Island and have a memorable fishing experience with Captain Chip and Reel Addiction Charters!
It is not mandatory, but is customary to tip the 1st mate, 20/25% of the cost of the trip.

4 hour trip with Chip

Half Day Trip on August 4, 2023 • 1 adult • 1 child

So, first off let me first say that Chip had us out there for just about 6 hours; it was a scheduled 4 hour trip. 

So I decided to take my 10 year old son deep sea fishing. I simply googled “deep sea fishing RI” and a bunch of choices came up.  Not knowing anyone of them from personal experience I went with reviews and FEEL. 
I chose Real Addiction Charters. And I hit the proverbial jackpot. All I can say is WOW!!
Chip and his second mate were beyond phenomenal. This guy and the second mate knew their stuff and they provided my son and I with a memory that will live forever. 
Chip and his second mate were cordial, funny and right there to provide assistance when needed while allowing us as much autonomy as we could handle. 
And he books in a way where you don’t feel rushed. The fish weren’t biting at first, but that was of no concern to Chip. With his superior knowledge of the sea and amazing equipment (that was very interesting by the way) coupled with the fact he was willing to basically stay out there for AS LONG AS IT TOOK, anyone who charters with him is taking their best chance at a successful and amazingly memorable experience. 
We already booked another trip with him for next year!! The day we got back. 
By the way my son caught a sea bass that we kept and Chip flayed it right there on his boat. 
Hands down Chip is the man.

Thank you so much for that fantastic review. Glad you both had such a great time! I do want to do whatever it takes to get people on fish, even if it means staying out longer. I consider myself the Captain With A Conscience.
